Tender Crockpot Chicken Wings (Printer-Friendly)
Slow-cooked chicken wings, tender and juicy, finished with a flavorful sauce for easy, tasty appetizers.
# What You'll Need:
→ Main
01 -
3 pounds chicken wings, fresh or frozen
→ Sauce
02 -
1 cup buffalo sauce
# Steps to Follow:
01 -
Place chicken wings in the slow cooker and toss with half of the buffalo sauce (½ cup).
02 -
Cover and cook on high for 2 to 3 hours or on low for 3 to 4 hours until the wings reach an internal temperature of 165ºF.
03 -
While wings are cooking, preheat the oven broiler to high heat.
04 -
Transfer wings onto a wire rack set over a baking sheet. Brush with the remaining buffalo sauce and broil for 5 to 10 minutes, flipping halfway, until skin crisps to desired texture.
05 -
Remove from broiler, toss with additional sauce if preferred, and serve immediately with optional celery and carrot sticks.
# Extra Suggestions:
01 -
Broiling is optional but recommended to achieve the characteristic crispy skin.
02 -
Fresh or thawed wings allow seasoning before cooking; frozen wings release more liquid requiring broiling to enhance texture.
03 -
Ensure wings reach 165ºF internal temperature for safe consumption.
